The visor is designed as a “two-in-one” tool for operators using different material joining technologies. It offers a dedicated, manually adjustable mode for laser welding in the 4-9 shade range, providing certified protection against laser radiation in the 1000-1100 nm band. When switched to arc welding mode, the visor activates the fully automatic ShadeTronic® system, dynamically selecting the shade in the 5-13 range. This unique versatility eliminates the need for two separate visors. Investing in a single, versatile tool saves time and guarantees full protection for every operation you perform.

Optrel’s patented shell design with a distinctive nose cutout allows the automatic filter cassette to be brought unprecedentedly close to the welder’s eyes. This engineering feat dramatically expands the field of view by up to six times compared to conventional welding visors. This eliminates the “tunnel vision” effect, providing full situational awareness at the workstation and an excellent view of the surroundings, which directly translates into safety. The wider viewing angle also means better control over handle positioning and weld quality, making this technology an investment in precision and productivity.

In arc welding mode, the visor uses the advanced ShadeTronic® algorithm, which acts as the welder’s personal assistant. Based on data from five independent sensors, the system analyzes the intensity of the welding arc in real time and automatically selects the ideal shade level from 5 to 13. This eliminates the need for manual adjustment and guesswork as to what degree of protection will be appropriate for a given current or welding method. It’s an investment in consistent, optimal eye protection and maximum visual comfort, allowing you to focus solely on making the perfect weld.

The visor’s power system is based on a highly efficient dual power source. The main power supply is a powerful lithium-polymer battery that can be recharged at any time using a standard Micro-USB cable, just like a smartphone. In addition, built-in solar cells constantly recharge the battery during operation, extending its life and operating time between charges. This configuration ensures that the visor is always ready for use, even after extended storage. It’s an investment in reliability and continuous operation without surprises.

The e3000X system in this version is ATEX certified, which entitles it to work safely in hazardous areas (gas zone 2 and dust zone 22). At the same time, it provides the highest possible level of respiratory protection of TH3 class (according to EN 12941), filtering 99.8% of harmful particles, fumes and aerosols. The system creates a controlled positive pressure inside the visor, effectively isolating the respiratory tract from the contaminated external environment. This is an absolutely crucial investment in the health and life of an operator working in the chemical, petrochemical or pharmaceutical industries.

The e3000X system is designed for comfort during hours of intense work. The user has three levels of airflow control: 170, 210 and 240 liters per minute. This allows the user to precisely adjust the airflow rate to the intensity of work and ambient temperature. The highest flow level, 240 liters per minute, not only delivers the maximum amount of clean air, but also generates a noticeable cooling effect on the forehead and face. This is an investment in thermal comfort and fatigue reduction, which directly contributes to maintaining high concentration and productivity throughout the shift.

At the heart of the system is a powerful, high-performance lithium-ion battery that provides up to 18 hours of continuous operation (at the lowest flow level) on a single full charge. This power output allows the system to work comfortably for two full 8-hour shifts without having to take breaks to recharge or change batteries. This minimizes downtime and maximizes effective working time, which is especially important when working on large projects and multi-shift operations. It’s an investment in operational reliability and maximizing productivity.
